Naboo was assigned the language of Italian because I have utilized Italian phrases that are associated with the Mafia. The reasoning for Naboo is because the architecture of Theed reminds me so much of the Italian architecture I saw when I visited there.

I thought VvD was going to get BDZ'd by the Empire as his plans began to come to fruition, but now I see that he's going to get banned for using a language instead. God, that's a relief._________________Can you refrain from playing with your immortality? - Lazer

But that doesn't mean it has to be assigned to just Naboo._________________DrakeIMM-3

Actually, it was assigned waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before that because of Cray. I guess most of the filming was done in Italy. I still don't agree with it, but... can't win them all. _________________

And you know how we feel about baiting, so I suggest knocking it off. We don't ban over languages, but when it comes to baiting and harrassment... whole new story._________________

I say we just use Basic as the language of every planet. Or if you do happen to use a different language, then you must provide translations for what is said._________________

Actually, I was referring to VvD's stubborness over a rule that noone else seems to have much of a problem with. You've got a bit of a prejudice against my posts, I guess, if you see everything as a problem._________________Can you refrain from playing with your immortality? - Lazer

It's not really a huge deal (except in a few cases where its a coded language and then trying to use it is basically like magically gaining a faction's encryption keys:p)..._________________

I have no problems with posting it as long as translations are included. In fact, I do that when I write as Chewie. I use something like [this] to indicate that he is speaking in another language but provide the 'Basic' translation so others can decipher what he is saying OOC.

Plus, I can't stand when Karen Traviss randomly has her characters talking in Mando speak(or whatever hell it's called) and no explanation is given whatsoever. As a reader, it's very frustrating and it takes you out of the moment very fast. I can see how that can become a problem here._________________Han Solo; Captain of the Millennium Falcon
